I am so irritated that RPI’s June 11 Webcast about the future of the Web (starring Tim Berners-Lee) requires the Microsoft Silverlight plugin. Wow. How future-oriented. Another piece of proprietary software technology.
Google Prettify’s claim that it won’t interfere with embedded tags in code examples appears incorrect; if the code example is only HTML, Prettify will remove any embedded tags (like a strong tag used to highlight a code change). Adding non-HTML code to the sample allows the tags to remain, but the expected rendering of HTML code elements disappears, too.
I just noticed that Pederick’s Web Developer toolbar scrolls back to the top of a page when using Edit CSS on embedded CSS. Editing a linked (and perhaps imported?) stylesheet does not affect the scrolled position on a page.
I’m an assistant professor of technical communication at Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, IL. I completed my PhD in rhetoric and composition at Purdue University in 2007.
This fall, I am teaching graduate seminars in Information Structure and Retrieval, and Open Source in Technical Communication.
